Deepada Kelage

I happened to see the plight of MD of Mysore Lamps. He claims himself to be honest.. ..

I started questioning the honesty of IAS after I found out that most characterless of my batchmates got into IAS.

I started doubting IAS after many interactions with IAS.

I completely stopped trusting the IAS after the Gautam Goswami’s run to the celebrity status in Time Magazine and equally quick exit into the Beur Jail.

But this officer, Mr M N Vijaykumar seems to be an unfit to be an IAS officer and hence perhaps is honest by that rule.

M N Vijayakumar blew lid on many corrupt officers and was promptly rewarded with transfers as and when he tried to do something good. He saw six transfer orders in six months!!!.

So what is new now?

He has now been made MD of Mysore Lamps.. One time a prestigious company but now defunct.. with no responsibility and staff.

Being MD of a defunct company!!!. How does it sound? You have no staff to supervise. You have no shareholders to report to. You have no products to sell!! Great!! Sounds like he can take his bed to the office and sleep.

But wait he has no office to go!! After repeatedly bugging the chanmangus in the government he decided to hold his meetings at home. He sends meeting notices to the board of directors and no one turns up. He then reschedules the meeting and then again no one turns up.!!! He starts doubting if the directors whom are reporting to him were fictional characters and then arranges one more meeting and webcasts the meeting so that in case if some director is virtual he or she could join in.

Virtual meeting ends with no attendance from fictional directors.

Vijay Kumar introduces agenda and introduces himself to himself and allocates work to himself and then votes to pass all the motions introduced, seconds them (or should we say firsts them ) and then sends the copy to State Chief secretary, and Lokayukta for information.

Great show Vijay. If you can put up with some fictional character as your director, why not a real character like me. Can I be one of the virtual director? That we can call reverse outsourcing. Indian Government outsourced to US to address trade deficit US has with India. That was just kidding.

Rang De Vijay Kumar. Our best wishes are with you.

This goes on to prove the old adage “Deepada Kelage Kattale”
